Does Online Dating Really Work?

So, recently I found myself completely single. Lots of complicated stuff lead up to this point. But I have never really been lonely like I am now. I am not a co-dependent person, so I don’t think that dating is an unhealthy thing to be engaging in.

My problem is meeting people! I have a hard time expressing my true emotions in person, and all the men I meet seem to be dead set on one thing. I think the online aspect is appealing because it feels less impersonal. On the other hand, this seems like a drawback as well.

The thought of online dating seems very terrifying for me. I don’t really want to set up a profile to be scrutinized over. I have self-esteem issues and don’t think judgment from random strangers would help. A Craigslist ad seems dirty and scary. I have heard too many horror stories.

I need your prospective. Has anyone tried it? How were your experiences?

i never have an online date before but i suggest don’t do that. But if you do, be careful when giving ur information. And also, if he asked u to meet in real life, yeah i mean…not in the virtual world, always bring ur friend or anyone else. Because who know he can be a bad person that want to do sumthin bad. goodluck with that 😉

Although, I had that profile online for about 3 months before he messaged me. So even though it may not be instantaneous there is a chance you may find a good guy for you.

i’ve tried the CL thing. i found my best guy friend, a few slimeballs (hey, that’s why u can block any number u don’t feel comfortable with. CL protects ur email, so u have theirs, but they don’t have y
